H.S. Band Students Perform Holiday Music in Community

Residents of Cedarhurst Retirement Community enjoyed a special visit by members of the Union H.S. Band on Saturday, December 16. An ensemble of Woodwinds and Brass students performed an afternoon concert of holiday music for the residents. The ensembles were student-led, including selection of repertoire, scheduling of rehearsals, and communicating with the Cedarhurst administration to create the event. Among the participating students are 5 recently named to the Oklahoma 2024 All-State Band. Thank you, students, for your special efforts to spread holiday cheer!

Renegade Regiment takes Silver at State Championship

The Union H.S. Renegade Regiment concluded its competitive season on Saturday, October 30 at the Oklahoma Bandmasters Association 6A State Marching Band Championship held at Broken Arrow Stadium. Enduring cold temperatures, wet conditions, and multiple rain delays, the band pulled off a sensational performance. Originally slated for two rounds of competition (Prelims & Finals), the event transformed to just a single round of performances, with the Renegade Regiment scoring 87.85, earning 2nd Place in Class 6A-1, as well as 2nd Place overall. Union’s Silver Medal finish was the Regiment’s strongest showing at the OBA State Championship since 2019.

The staff & students of the Renegade Regiment extend gratitude to the army of dedicated volunteers who braved the elements on Saturday to help them achieve their full potential, and to the event hosts at Broken Arrow HS & the OBA Board of Directors for remaining committed to ensure that every competing band was afforded the opportunity to perform at the weather-impeded event.

Congrats to the Renegade Regiment on a remarkably successful season!
